The Secret Lives of Color
$23.00
The Secret Lives of Color tells the unusual stories of 75 shades, dyes, and hues. From the brown that changed the way battles were fought to the white that protected against the plague, from scarlet women to punk's industrial pink, these surprising stories run like a bright thread through history. This is fun book that you can pick up and start from anywhere. Thumb through, pick a color, and off you go.
